While I wouldn\u2019t necessarily recommend the buds to the audiophiles in my life, the Free Pro 2 buds are a solid and affordable pick for everyday use.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Specs_as_Tested\"><\/span>Specs as Tested<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Drivers:<\/strong> 6mm composite<\/li>\n<li><strong>Earbud Weight:<\/strong> 4 grams<\/li>\n<li><strong>Earbud + Case Weight:<\/strong> 38 grams<\/li>\n<li><strong>Solo Bud Mode:<\/strong> Yes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Active Noise Cancelation:<\/strong> Yes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bluetooth:<\/strong> 5.2<\/li>\n<li><strong>Codecs:<\/strong> AAC, SBC<\/li>\n<li><strong>Battery Life:<\/strong> 6 hours on earbuds, 24 hours with case; 30 total<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wireless Charging:<\/strong> Qi<\/li>\n<li><strong>Additional Tips:<\/strong> 4 ear tips, 3 ear wings<\/li>\n<li><strong>IP Rating:<\/strong> IPX5<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Case_and_Earbud_Design\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Case and Earbud Design<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first thing I noticed and fell in love with these buds is their tiny design. Both the case and the earbuds are pint-sized\u2014they fit in my hand with a closed fist. I can easily fit them in my pocket, backpack, gym bag, or purse without worrying about them taking up a ton of space. Likewise, the Free Pro 2\u2019s small design also means they barely stick out from my ears\u2014they have a fairly slim profile overall.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-108032 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/01\/09a7f7bc.png\" alt=\"EarFun Free Pro 2 buds in their case with the lid open, on a bookshelf\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Kevin Bonnett\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Kevin Bonnett<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And with an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/62529\/ip-ratings-explained-what-does-the-code-mean-for-your-devices\/\">IPX5 rating, you can feel comfortable getting a little sweat on the earbuds during a workout or if you\u2019re walking around in a light drizzle. They lack a dust-resistance rating, however, so avoid wearing them on dusty hikes. If you\u2019re only looking to wear them while you go for a walk or casual bike ride, they\u2019re perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Both the case and the buds sport a clean, minimal design, with a black and grey finish. The case has a USB-C charging point on the back, the EarFun logo on the lid, and a small groove at the front indicating where to open it. Inside, we can see a combination of matte and shiny black finishes. The buds are easy to grab from the case, too, even with just one hand, but I\u2019m confident their magnets are strong enough to keep them in their case even as it gets jostled in your backpack.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Fit\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">The Fit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Free Pro 2 earbuds weigh just 4 grams a pop which, along with their super balanced design, makes them incredibly comfortable to wear all day long. They never made my ears sore, even when I wore them for hours at a time while working, commuting, or gaming.<\/p>\n<p>They also have a super secure fit, thanks to the ear wings. Their smart design makes them easy to physically adjust, as needed, but they are some of the most comfortable buds I\u2019ve ever worn so you probably won\u2019t need to. They stayed in place all day, even during light exercise; it was only when I ran during my workouts that I felt them start to slip a bit, which is totally expected for any bud.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-108038 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2ec42623.png\" alt=\"Two peope wearing the EarFun Free Pro 2 earbuds\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.myearfun.com%2Fheadphones%2Fearfun-free-pro-2-anc-true-wireless-earbuds-black\" data-credittext=\"EarFun\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.myearfun.com%2Fheadphones%2Fearfun-free-pro-2-anc-true-wireless-earbuds-black\">EarFun<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you do need to make some adjustments, EarFun sets you up for success. In the box are four different sizes of ear tips and three varying sizes of ear wings. With so many size combinations available, I imagine pretty much everyone will be able to tailor the buds to their specific ears. The buds excel at giving you a comfortable snug fit and make it easier to ensure none of your precious sound escapes at any point.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Performance_Sound\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">Performance &amp; Sound<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s be clear\u2014the Free Pro 2 buds are priced well under $100. As such, their audio capabilities just can\u2019t compete with buds at twice the price (or more). However, EarFun clearly tried hard to make things as good as they could given that.<\/p>\n<p>The buds have a large <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.xfyro.com%2Fblogs%2Fnews%2Ftrue-audiophile-what-is-soundstage-in-headphones\">soundstage<\/a>, their channel separation is great, and you can hear every instrument separately. They have a low bitrate sound, however, so they struggle to handle a distortion and crash symbol combination as well as the level of bass they push.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the box, I felt the buds have too much treble for most genres, too. While they consistently seemed to handle lower frequencies better than higher ones, it always felt like the frequencies were a little too unbalanced to sound right. This wouldn\u2019t be as huge of a problem if the buds had a companion mobile app with an equalizer I could make adjustments with, but it doesn\u2019t. What you hear is simply what you get.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-108040 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2ec42623-1.png\" alt=\"EarFun Free Pro 2 earbuds sitting on a bookshelf next to books\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Kevin Bonnett\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Kevin Bonnett<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I wouldn\u2019t recommend the buds to an audiophile for those reasons, but they\u2019re still fairly good overall. If you can look past that imbalance (and especially if you know you\u2019ll be focused on another task, like working or walking or gaming) you likely won\u2019t even notice it.<\/p>\n<p>The earbuds also sport several different sound modes: Ambient, Normal, and Noise Canceling. I love seeing so many modes available on a pair of earbuds, as they make them more versatile. Given the buds\u2019 low price, it\u2019s incredibly nice to see active noise cancelation here. ANC on them is pretty dang good, too, blocking up to 40dB. I found that it also (somehow) rounded out the tone of the buds, making each frequency sound a little more balanced\u2014perfect for listening to music.<\/p>\n<p>While it doesn\u2019t compare with ANC on more expensive buds, it\u2019s better than that I\u2019ve seen with buds at a similar price. They did a fantastic job blocking out white noise, like fans or my furnace, as well as with more dynamic noises like crinkly bags or listening to my partner play video games next to me on the couch.<\/p>\n<p>Ambient mode worked well, amplifying the noises in my surrounding environment with ease. I could easily hear conversations, announcements, and other noises with clarity. Perhaps my favorite mode, however, was Normal. This blocked out a little bit of exterior noise but still made it easier to hear my surroundings, like people talking or my doorbell ringing. It\u2019s a good balance between Ambient and Noise Canceling, but I\u2019d still recommend the latter if you\u2019re wanting to listen to music (and pay attention to it).<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"User_Experience_Connectivity\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_4\">User Experience &amp; Connectivity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hands down one of the biggest downsides to the Free Pro 2 buds is their lack of a companion mobile app. Without one, I can\u2019t tweak the EQ, customize the controls, or adjust ANC settings. While I expect sub-$100 earbuds to be missing some features, foregoing a companion app is hard to rectify in my mind, especially since most others at this price point do have one.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-108034 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/01\/4571319b.png\" alt=\"EarFun Free Pro 2 charging case on bookshelf \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Kevin Bonnett\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Kevin Bonnett<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Possibly as a way to balance this out, however, EarFun did pack a ton of touch controls onto each earbud. With them, you can play and pause a track, skip to the next one, turn the volume up or down, answer and end a call, reject a call, answer and transfer two calls, access a voice assistant, toggle hear-through modes, and toggle game mode.<\/p>\n<p>Given the lack of a companion app, I was thrilled to see that the buds could handle so many touch controls; what sucks about them, though, is how sluggish they are. While the touch controls worked nearly every time (unless I didn\u2019t hit the area dead-on or had hair in the way), there was always a delay. This was so annoying! It was less of a big deal with simple one-tap commands (turning the volume up or down), but downright terrible when doing a command that required multiple taps or a long hold. You\u2019re left wondering whether or not it worked. I\u2019d love to see EarFun fix this with a software update (although those are never guaranteed), or at least on its next round of earbuds.<\/p>\n<p>The Free Pro 2 earbuds sport Bluetooth 5.2 for fast pairing and a connection that\u2019s always solid. They support both AAC and SBC codecs, allow you to use just one bud at a time, and have six microphones for taking calls and blocking out external noise. They lack <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jlab.com\/blogs\/news\/bluetooth-multipoint#:~:text=Bluetooth%20multipoint%20is%20a%20feature,without%20touching%20any%20settings!*\">multipoint connectivity<\/a>, however, so you won\u2019t be able to keep them connected to both your smartphone and laptop at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>They also offer a convenient Game Mode option you can toggle. This \u201cshortens the connection\u201d and reduces the latency between the earbuds and your device from 200ms down to 80ms. This is, obviously, ideal for when you\u2019re gaming and need to be able to hear what\u2019s going on around you in the game in a timely manner (like footsteps or enemy gunfire, etc).<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Battery_Life_Charging\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_5\">Battery Life &amp; Charging<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the things I like best about these buds is their terrific battery life. Despite the super tiny size of both the buds and their case, you get 30 hours total before you\u2019ll need to charge them again. The earbuds give you six hours, and you can gain another 24 with the USB-C charging case, which supports Qi wireless charging.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-108036 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/01\/44f8514b.png\" alt=\"Rear of the EarFun Free Pro 2 charging case, showing the USB-C port\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Kevin Bonnett\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Kevin Bonnett<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In my testing, I found that the Pro 2\u2019s stuck to that number exactly using Normal mode with whatever I was listening to at a low to moderate volume. When I switched to ANC mode, that number dropped to about 3.5-4.5 hours depending on what I was listening to and how loud I turned it up.<\/p>\n<p>However, the earbuds do have a Quick Charge feature. With just 10 minutes, you can gain another 120 minutes of playback.\u00a0With the help of the Quick Charge feature, the earbuds should easily make it through your workday.<\/p>\n<p>Again, thanks to the lack of a companion app, you won\u2019t be able to see the buds\u2019 exact battery level. You can throw them in their case, however, and let it give you a rough estimate. The LED indicator light will flash for three seconds if the battery is over 30%, flash three times if it\u2019s under 30%, flash one time if it\u2019s under 10%, and not flash at all if it\u2019s under 5% and needs to be charged. While this is a bit clunky, and not exactly intuitive, it\u2019s still better than nothing. The upside of the buds not having an app is that they\u2019ll likely pair with any device, including Chromebooks.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_6\">Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Given their affordable price, the EarFun Free Pro 2 earbuds are an intriguing feature-rich choice for everyday wear. They do have a few shortcomings\u2014like laggy touch controls, an unbalanced frequency sound, lackluster bass support, and the lack of a companion mobile app\u2014that cause them to miss the target a bit.<\/p>\n<p>However, the features they <i>do<\/i> have go a long way towards remedying things. I loved that it has such a small design, great battery life, a secure fit, and a large soundstage. Overall, if you\u2019re looking for a new pair of earbuds that have a lot of nice features, decent sound, and an affordable price point, EarFun\u2019s Free Pro 2 buds are the ones for you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-review-card border\">\n<div class=\"review-card-heading\">\nRating: <strong>7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Price: <strong>$79.99<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"review-card-body\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like-2\"><\/span>Here\u2019s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Small buds and case<\/li>\n<li>Large soundstage<\/li>\n<li>Comfy secure fit<\/li>\n<li>Solid battery life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont-2\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>No companion app<\/li>\n<li>Sluggish touch control response<\/li>\n<li>Can&#8217;t handle the level of bass it pushes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
